What the Sea Returned

Kwame Asare

Resin, pigment, found objects on board, 150 × 120 cm

A palimpsest of objects recovered from Labadi Beach, Accra, suspended in tinted resin. The work refuses easy legibility: fragments surface and submerge as the viewer shifts position.
Mixed-media painting with resin layers, embedded fishing net fragments, and blue-green pigment
